ton was, Ought the United States Congress

affirmative of which was well argued by ii.
B. Davis Miss Dora Jordan and the negative
equally well taken by II. V. Neal, Miss M.
V. Wood and Miss n. +. Snow. The prize
was awarded to Miss Snow. A larger pro-
portion of 90 choose the debates this term
than of any sophomore class for long time,
all but two of their number taking this work.
The Polymnian public meeting last Friday
evening was in every respect grand success.
The weather was very unfavorable, but, con-
trary to all expectations, the capacious hall
was filed The exercises held the closest at
tention of the audience, and many consider
the entertainment equal to any similar one
ever given here. The defamation by Whit
temore, with gestures by Emerson, was a
happy hit. The music by Misses Fairbanks
Nash. was enthusiastically received. The
following was the programme of the literary
part of the entertainment:

KENr's HILL.

The Adelphian Society presented a very.
fine programme at their public meeting last
Friday evening and the audience enjoyed
the exercises exceedingly. The discussions
showed much thought and care in prepara-
ton. The Grafton by Miss Ford was finely
delivered. The paper indicated real talent
and poetic talent too. Miss Maud II. Dudley
was the essayist who had evidently given
much thought in the preparation of her sub-
ject, but the articulation was such that
all present could not hear distinctly.
The closing address by Miss Lincoln was
carefully prepared and delivered In very
clear and distinct manner. All the music on
the occasion was of high order. The
gentlemen will have to acknowledge that the
ladies are hard to beat.
On Tuesday evening the Junior class hold
their exhibition.
Rev. DR.. Stone is still confined TO the
house, though improving slowly.

A Bomb Thrown in at an Open Window
Explodes but Does Slight Damage.

DuBUoUg, la. Nov. Is.
A bomb exploded in the Iowa Iron Works
late last night, The works were running 4
night force of some twenty workmen en-
ployed ON large boiler in the boiler shops.
They were startled by a terrific explosion
about fifteen or twenty feet away on the other
side of the boiler.
The bomb was made of inch and half iron
gas pipe about two feet long. One end was
still intact and plugged up with a cap while u
hole was made in the pipe near ii for fuse.
The pipe was split in several places. Fortu-
nately the explosion was all in one direction
away from the men
The flooring and parts of the building were
set on fire, which was speedily extingushed
No other damage was done.
Ii is miracle that there was not great
loss of life. 1t is supposed that the bomb
was thrown in through an open window.
The works had had no trouble with their
men but had been running double force for
nine months. Their theory is that the bomb
was prepared by some one having a grudgc
against the workmen or else by an out-and-
out anarchist.

ate the erroneous impression that the issue
was one of authority alone, and | refused 10

diversion of the issue from one of legal con-
struction 10 one of authority and insubordi-
nation is the substitution of force for argu-
ment the diversion of the public mind from
the merits of the ease, and if not resisted by
me in this presentation TO You II would be

interest an impartial hearing before the Sec
